Fluidization of cation exchangers with regenerating sulfuric acid solution

Dependences of the bed expansion of cation exchangers (weakly acidic Lewatit CNP 80 and strongly acidic KU-2×8) on the flow velocity, temperature, and concentration of the regenerating sulfuric acid solution were determined. An equation describing the dependence of the bed expansion of cation exchangers on the flow velocity, temperature, and concentration of sulfuric acid, common to the two ion exchangers, was derived, which allows a priori determination of the extent of bed expansion in regeneration of cation exchangers in the fluidization mode.

Ab Initio Calculation of the Structure and Functions of Sulfo Cation Exchangers

An ab initio calculation has been carried out for hydrated lithium, sodium, potassium, and rubidium toluenesulfonates, modeling the structure of sulfo cation exchangers in the form of alkali metal ions. In the optimized structure, water molecules are incorporated between the fixed ion and the counterions. This leads to dissociation of the ionogen groups, which increases the diffusion mobility of the counterions. Analysis of an elementary ion exchange process has revealed that cleavage of hydrogen bonds between the hydration water molecules of the fixed ion and the counterions plays a critical role in the ion exchange mechanism.     

Catalytic activity of iron hydroxides and manganese hydroxides in the deoxygenation of water

Catalysts prepared by the modification of FIBAN K-4 and FIBAN X-1 fibrous ion exchangers with the hydroxides of iron and manganese were developed and tested in a water deoxygenation process. It was established that the samples obtained by the supporting of Fe(III) hydroxide onto the FIBAN X-1 ampholyte were most effective. The conclusion that the high activity of the catalytic system is caused by the formation of a mixed phase of Fe(II) and Fe(III) hydroxides of the spinel type containing mobile (weakly bound) lattice oxygen was made. A reaction scheme was proposed to explain the reaction mechanism.     

Ion dynamics in mixed alkali cadmium fluoride glasses

We have investigated ion dynamics in cadmium fluoride nonoxide glasses, in the frequency range from 10 Hz to 2 MHz and in the temperature range from room temperature to just below the glass transition temperature. We have established the existence of mixed alkali effect for these glasses from different aspects of relaxation dynamics. We have observed lower dimensionality of the conduction pathways in mixed alkali cadmium fluoride glasses compared to that in the single alkali glasses. Although, both n and beta represent the interaction between the charge carriers, we have not found any theoretical correlation between them. Using different scaling approaches we have shown that the relaxation dynamics in mixed alkali cadmium fluoride glasses is independent of temperatures.     

Effect of the degradation of ion-exchange resins on the quality of high-purity water prepared by ion-exchange deionization

In the course of water deionization on ion-exchange filters of mixed action, charged with a mixture of KU-2×8 ch.s. cation exchanger and AV-17×8 ch.s. anion exchanger, which are ion-exchange resins of nuclear class, the water being treated is contaminated with soluble organic substances originating from degradation of the resins. Their concentration can reach 20 µg L–1, gradually decreasing to 5–6 µg L–1. Procedures were suggested for determining soluble organic substances washed out from the ion-exchange filters, including gravimetric determination of their sum in aqueous extracts from the organic ion exchangers, spectrophotometric determination in water being purified on the ion exchangers, and preconcentration of electrically charged forms of soluble organic substances by electroosmosis.     

The importance of cerium substituted phosphates as cation exchanger-some unique properties and related application potentials

Seven different samples of an inorganic ion exchanger, cerium phosphate, suitable for column use have been prepared under varying conditions. The property of these exchangers has been characterized by Inductively Coupled Plasma Spectroscopy. These exchangers are stable in water, dilute mineral acids, ethanol, methanol, acetone and ether. However, in concentrated HCl and HNO(3) they decompose. They retain about 50% of their exchange value after drying at 80 degrees C, and can be regenerated twice without any decrease in exchange capacity. The distribution coefficient measurements for alkaline earth metals, tellurium, iodine and molybdenum using these seven ion exchangers were studied. This revealed the relative affinity for each exchanger, where the sorption in general was most effective at pH 6-8. The titration curves of cerium phosphate (disodium) with alkaline earth metals showed that the selectivity sequence Ba(2+)>Sr(2+)>Ca(2+)>Mg(2+) is observed. Furthermore, it could be deduced that the adsorption of alkaline earth metal cations greatly depends on the cation. These studies have also shown that cerium phosphates with divalent ions are strongly preferred to monovalent ones. Therefore, as for the cerium phosphates with large monovalent ions, the lack of exchange for Ba(2+), Mg(2+) or other alkali earth metal ions should be essentially due to steric hindrance and this could include any one of the following: the large crystalline radius of metal ions or large hydrated ionic radius and high energy of hydration for other divalent ions. Three binary separations of Te(IV)-Mo(VI), Te(IV)-I(I) and Mo(VI)-I(I) has been developed and the recovery ranging from 90 to 100% has been achieved on cerium phosphate (disodium) columns.     

Computer modeling of the structure of supramolecular systems: An example of ion exchangers

A method is proposed for the determination of the structure of supramolecular systems based on spectrum-structure correlations and quantum-chemical and molecular dynamic modeling. Application of the developed approach to the analysis of the structures carboxy- and sulfo-cation exchangers as alkali metal salts and an amino acid (glycine) suggests that the ion pairs in the studied systems are dissociated. This allows a conclusion that the retention of ions in the ion exchangers in chromatographic separation is due to not only the electrostatic interaction of the fixed and mobile ions, but also hydrogen bonding between the hydration shells of the counterions.     

ACE applied to the quantitative characterization of benzo‐18‐crown‐6‐ether binding with alkali metal ions in a methanol–water solvent system

ACE was applied to the quantitative evaluation of noncovalent binding interactions between benzo‐18‐crown‐6‐ether (B18C6) and several alkali metal ions, Li⁺, Na⁺, K⁺, Rb⁺ and Cs⁺, in a mixed binary solvent system, methanol–water (50/50 v/v). The apparent binding (stability) constants (K_b) of B18C6–alkali metal ion complexes in the hydro‐organic medium above were determined from the dependence of the effective electrophoretic mobility of B18C6 on the concentration of alkali metal ions in the BGE using a nonlinear regression analysis. Before regression analysis, the mobilities measured by ACE at ambient temperature and variable ionic strength of the BGE were corrected by a new procedure to the reference temperature, 25°C, and the constant ionic strength, 10 mM . In the 50% v/v methanol–water solvent system, like in pure methanol, B18C6 formed the strongest complex with potassium ion (log K_b=2.89±0.17), the weakest complex with cesium ion (log K_b=2.04±0.20), and no complexation was observed between B18C6 and the lithium ion. In the mixed methanol–water solvent system, the binding constants of the complexes above were found to be about two orders lower than in methanol and about one order higher than in water.

Sorption of gaseous ammonia on sulfonated macroreticular ion exchangers

The amount of gaseous ammonia sorbed on dry sulfonated macroreticular ion exchangers with different contents of divinylbenzene was found to be greater than the number of sulfonic acid groups. The excess ammonia could be removed by washing with water. With ion exchangers containing more than 20% of divinylbenzene a certain amount of chemically bonded ammonia could not be removed, even by elution with strong acid. Sorption of ammonia occurred also on dry ion exchangers fully neutralized with sodium ion, and in that case also, ammonia could only partially be removed by water from higher crosslinked samples. On desorption into a gaseous phase the amount of desorbed ammonia was proportional to the surface area of the ion exchanger, since desorption occurred only from surface layers. The results obtained indicate that ammonia migrates among acid groups located within the mass of the ion exchanger.     

A new process using a redox type of ion exchanger for cesium separation

A sorption-desorption-regeneration cycle composed of sorption of cesium on the sorbent in reduced state from strong nitric acid medium in the presence of an inhibitor such as hydrazinium salt, desorption of cesium by converting the spent sorbent into an oxidized state with a strong nitric acid eluent containing nitrous acid, and regeneration of the sorbent with a reducing agent such as hydrazinium salt was found to be possible with practically no loss of the sorbents when insoluble hexacyanoferrates of copper were used as redox type of ion exchangers.     

Gram-negative bacteria viable in ultrapure water: identification of bacteria isolated from ultrapure water and effect of temperature on their behavior

This study describes the effect of temperature on the behavior of bacteria viable in ultrapure water and the contamination of ultrapure water by bacteria. Three species of bacteria were isolated from ultrapure water (total organic carbon, 60 ppb and 5 ppb; effluent resistivity > 18 MΩ cm at 25°C) and identified by morphological and physiological characteristics. The three isolates were incubated in water for injection and PYG broth to check the growth profile at various temperatures. In PYG broth, temperature influenced the behavior of bacteria directly; however, it did not in water for injection. By checking both viable and non-viable bacterial numbers and endotoxin concentration in pure water, the water was found to be contaminated with non-viable bacteria and newly generated endotoxins besides viable bacteria. A column treatment, a mixed bed of fully regenerated strong acid cation exchange resin (SACER) and strong base anion exchange resin (SBAER), was used to remove bacteria from pure water. Bacteria could not grow on the surfaces of ion exchange resins in the mixed bed. The removal of bacteria was more effective as pure water was circulated through the mixed bed more rapidly.     

Isolation of transplutonium elements on ion exchangers from solutions of high salt concentration

The behaviour of transplutonium elements (TPE) on cation and anion exchangers in aqueous alcoholic solutions of chlorides and nitrates of some alkali and alkaline earth metals as depending on different factors: salt concentration, content of alcohol and of acid in the solution as well as the nature of a cation has been studied. The data obtained were used to determine the optimal conditions of concentration of TPE on ion exchangers from solutions containing great quantities of salts. The advantages of the use of aqueous alcoholic solutions of nitric acid in the isolation of TPE from such solutions have been shown.     

A first principles molecular dynamics study of lithium atom solvation in binary liquid mixture of water and ammonia: structural, electronic, and dynamical properties

The preferential solvation of solutes in mixed solvent systems is an interesting phenomenon that plays important roles in solubility and kinetics. In the present study, solvation of a lithium atom in aqueous ammonia solution has been investigated from first principles molecular dynamics simulations. Solvation of alkali metal atoms, like lithium, in aqueous and ammonia media is particularly interesting because the alkali metal atoms release their valence electrons in these media so as to produce solvated electrons and metal counterions. In the present work, first principles simulations are performed employing the Car-Parrinello molecular dynamics method. Spontaneous ionization of the Li atom is found to occur in the mixed solvent system. From the radial distribution functions, it is found that the Li(+) ion is preferentially solvated by water and the coordination number is mostly four in its first solvation shell and exchange of water molecules between the first and second solvation shells is essentially negligible in the time scale of our simulations. The Li(+) ion and the unbound electron are well separated and screened by the polar solvent molecules. Also the unbound electron is primarily captured by the hydrogens of water molecules. The diffusion rates of Li(+) ion and water molecules in its first solvation shell are found to be rather slow. In the bulk phase, the diffusion of water is found to be slower than that of ammonia molecules because of strong ammonia-water hydrogen bonds that participate in solvating ammonia molecules in the mixture. The ratio of first and second rank orientational correlation functions deviate from 3, which suggests a deviation from the ideal Debye-type orientational diffusion. It is found that the hydrogen bond lifetimes of ammonia-ammonia pairs is very short. However, ammonia-water H-bonds are found to be quite strong when ammonia acts as an acceptor and these hydrogen bonds are found to live longer than even water-water hydrogen bonds.

Use of x-ray fluorescence spectrometry in ion-exchange studies of leach liquors

Equilibrium and kinetic studies of ion exchange of a complex leach liquor from coal ash, with strongly basic resins and a liquid ion exchanger are reported. The multi-component system was studied by determining the composition of the effluents and by non-destructive analysis of the loaded ion exchangers by XRF spectrometry. In the case of column operation, the elution processes were investigated by the same method, which was very appropriate for non-destructive monitoring of resin regeneration steps done repeatedly with the same resin sample.

Preparation of Organic-Inorganic Composite Adsorbent Beads for Removal of Radionuclides and Heavy Metal Ions

Composite ion exchanger beads were prepared to remove the strontium and silver ions in acidic solution. Potassium titanate and nickelferrocyanate powder, which are acid resistant inorganic ion exchangers were synthesized and then mixed with polyacrylonitrile (PAN) binder to form a PAN-potassium titanate and a PAN-nickelferrocyanate composite ion exchanger beads. Spherical composite beads could be obtained by adjusting the viscosities of the composite dope in the range of 700–1000 cP. The composite beads porosities such as macropore volume and pore size were increased in proportion to the contents of PVP (polyvinylpyrrolidone) which was used as the porosity modifying chemical. The synthesized composite ion exchangers were evaluated on their adsorption characteristics for the Ag¹ and Sr²¹ ion solutions of pH 2.
